By Jonah Goldberg<\/a>. \u00a0When someone says it better than me, I let them. \u00a0Most of what Mr. Goldberg noticed, I noticed too.<\/p>\nI think it reads better than it sounded, but that\u2019s because of Trump\u2019s delivery. \u00a0Looking at the text, there were things I liked, and things I didn\u2019t like. \u00a0In fact, there were things I can\u2019t imagine anyone disagreeing with, and things I have a hard time thinking many would support. \u00a0That is, if they think things through.<\/p>\n
But like Goldberg says, Trump won because more Americans are unhappy than carefully constructed polls suggest. \u00a0And part of this is the feeling of constantly being let down. \u00a0Sure, some are doing well. \u00a0But many aren\u2019t. \u00a0If Trump can\u2019t deliver, he\u2019ll find himself toppled by the same dynamic that got him elected in the first place.<\/p>\n
